This video details a ballistic gel test of Buffalo Bore's .380 ACP +P ammunition, featuring Barnes Tac-XP solid copper projectiles. The test measures velocity from two Smith & Wesson firearms (Bodyguard 2.0 and M&P EZ) and evaluates projectile expansion and penetration through a clothing barrier. The presenter concludes that while the ammunition offers good energy for its caliber, its high cost and performance comparable to less expensive options make it a questionable value proposition for most users.
This video presents a ballistic gel test of Underwood 9mm +P 147gr Hardcast ammunition fired from a subcompact Taurus G2 pistol. The test includes penetration through ballistic gel and a barrier of denim and plywood. The results are compared to a Barnes Tac-XP 115gr hollow point, highlighting the superior penetration of the hardcast rounds, making them a viable option for large predator defense.
This video highlights the powerful .45 ACP Magnum round, specifically the 450 SMC.

This video provides an informative comparison between the 10mm and .45 ACP calibers, specifically using Springfield Armory 1911 TRP Operator pistols and Barnes TAC-XP ammunition. Expert Tom Gresham demonstrates and analyzes the terminal ballistics of each round through water jug tests, highlighting that while penetration was similar for these self-defense loads, the 10mm possesses significantly more energy. The discussion also touches upon the increased penetration capabilities of 10mm hunting ammunition.
